Tire question-Front or rear?

[NICKMO]

I ordered a front tire that showed up today. Before I ordered it I asked to make sure that it was a front, not a rear. Upon inspection of the tire, I saw the tire was marked "drive" in the directional arrow. Because it is a front I expected it to be marked "rotation" inside the arrow.

So here's my question, does the fact that it's marked drive make it a rear tire, and if so, does it need to be mounted opposite to be run on the front?

Thanks.

First of all, what is the type of tire?

 

[NICKMO]

It's a Kenda K761. 100/90-19.

Well, Kenda's site lists that as a front/rear tire. So the arrow should point forward for water dispersion.

Thanks. I appreciate your help! Arrow forward, I'll try not to screw it up.
